Before: I honestly don't recall all that much from before. If I concentrate, I can remember flashes, and people have filled in the blanks for me, but I can't remember any first hand incidents in detail. I can remember flashes of my mother if I try. Her name was Kendra, and she was my caretaker. I remember loving her so much it hurt, but I also remember her looking at me with sad, disappointed eyes that I didn't understand, at the time. Looking back, I imagine it was because I'd ruined her life. I don't blame her for it.
I don't remember much more than a few hazy scenes of my father playing with me when I was very, very young. After the incident, he. . .went away, because of me. It's not something I like to talk about.
I had two brothers. Aberforth, who I remember as a kind, gentle person, and Albus. Aberforth was the one I got along with. I loved him, and he loved me. Albus was. . .different. He had friends who didn't like me, didn't like what I stood for. He generally sided with him. If mother looked at me and found sorrow, Albus looked at me and found resentment. I suppose I ruined his life as well.
Of the incident that took me away for so long, I remember only flashes of light, yelling, and a rising panic. I've been told I was killed in a fight between my brothers and Albus' friend, Gellert, who later went on to become a Dark Lord.
I've been told Albus grew up to be a great man, a good man, who would sacrifice almost everything in the name of his cause. If it's true, I'm proud of him. But there's still a part of me that can remember the resentment and hatred of childhood, that can't forgive him for the way he saw me during a time when I could barely remember who I was.
After: I can't tell you how the rebirth happened. I've been sworn to secrecy with an unbreakable vow, you see. I can see the need, what with the many dead dark lords from over the century.
I came back whole, a true rebirth. Untouched, unsick, undamaged. I suppose I am what I should have been, had it not been for the incident when I was young. I've been to Hogwarts. I'm old for my class, but I suppose I was accepted in honor of my brother. I'm a seventh year now, having been moved ahead at a higher rate to try and keep me from being a twenty year old fifth year. I'm learning. I've been given a second chance. And I won't waste it.
